Matching invitations etc to colour scheme - help!!

Hi there,

I am making my own wedding invitations and have found a design I like which is silver on ivory cards. My colour scheme is predominantly royal blue with a bit of silver so I'm thinking this will be okay. I would use the same silver design throughout the rest of the stationary for the day.

What do people think, is it important that everything matches exactly colourwise, should I have more blue in my stationary?

thanks ?

    Your stationary look's really nice!

    But It's very much an each to their own thing when it comes to colour schemes. Some people are very "Everything MUST match" and other's don't even have colour schemes.

    Our Stationary is going to be matching, but that is mainly because my friend has put so much effort into designing them that i want the design on as much stationary as possible! And the colours are similar to our scheme, but not exact. We're using black in the evening invites, which isn't one of our 'scheme colours'

    Lovely invitations!

    We're in the 'doesn't have to match' camp. Our invites were pink but our colours are neutrals with a bit of french navy so not even close! I don't think it matters at all and wouldn't expect anyone to notice.

    The place cards etc all fit with our colors though, it's just the invites that didn't

    Thank you all,

    Silver stationary it is then - just got to make it all now !

    I agree Kochanski, I think I am worrying far to much about things that no-one else will probably even notice!!

    The only thing I will say is that my friend's invites were ivory with gold and black print, but the colour scheme was teal. About 6 guests turned up in teal dresses. I'm not sure if this was because it's a fashionable colour or because the invites weren't in the wedding colours

    Good point NurseBride2B, maybe I'll try and include some blue in there somehow. My STD cards were blue so people may already be thinking that this is the colour scheme but maybe not once they receive the invites!
